Should I Buy Mapsource Metroguide Or City Select?

[mikado613]

Hello,

 

I have browsed the auctions on eBay for Mapsource software. I would like to know what you think of the Metroguide and City Select. Which software is better? What are the good/bad points of each? I will be using this with a Garmin eTrex Vista. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.

 

thanks!

You might want to take a look at Amazon - I found my SW cheaper there than on Ebay's den of theives.

For an Etrex Vista, you definitely should get Metroguide. The maps are the same. As far as I know, the only differences are the City Select supports auto-routing GPSr's and must be unlocked for each GPSr you use. It costs extra to unlock more than 2 GPSr's. In fact, I don't think that City Select will even work with the Etrex series.
